Man drugged wife to make her fat

A CONTROLLING and jealous husband secretly fed his wife steroids so she would pile on weight and be forced to stay at home and look after their children.

Victim Jaspreet Singh Gill sprouted hair on her chin, cheeks and back because Dalwara Singh was lacing her food and drink with the drugs, Leicester Crown Court heard.

The mother of two also developed spotty, constantly itchy skin and some scalp hair fell out, but her husband of 17 years told her not to go to the doctor.

When she complained that the food he suddenly starting preparing for her tasted bitter, because of the steroids, Mr Singh made her eat it out of guilt, saying he had made it especially for her.

Their teenage daughter told her mother she heard her father grinding a pestle and mortar in the bedroom so Mrs Singh broke into a locked cupboard and found the anabolic steroids, Anapolon and Dianabol, and called the police.
